El Maniel International, a publicly traded firm that focuses in the gold business field, is searching for alluvial gold mining possibilities in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
CEO of El Maniel International, Jamie Khoo, said that a group of artisan miners claim that there could be alluvial gold mining in the Enga Province and experts from the company managed to gather samples of the alluvial gold from the site.
Port Moresby is the capital of PNG and is situated on the Southern Coast of the island of New Guinea. The total area of PNG is 180,000 mi2 and the official language of the country is English. PNG exports mainly gold, copper, petroleum, copra, coffee, cocoa, timber logs and palm oil. The principal mineral deposits found in the country are gold, copper and silver, but other redeemable deposits of minerals, including cobalt and nickel are also found in the country.
Jamie Khoo said that alluvial gold incidents are mainly found in the Enga Province, Madang Province, Northern Province, Eastern Highlands and the East Sepik Province. He also added that in 2009, PNG registered 2.1 Moz in gold production.
